About the Annika Boat Neck Dress
The Annika Dress is a classic style knit dress with a slight pencil shape and a special boat neckline, made with a build-in facing.
The dress is close fitting at bust and hips, but has a bit more ease in the waist area. It has a shaped centre-back seam for better fitting and a short vent.
Annika has 3/4 length sleeves, but you can easily shorten or lengthen them.
Sew your Annika dress in heavier knit fabric such as Ponte de Roma, jaquard jerseys or double knits.
Sizes
The pattern comes with all sizes from 34 to size 54 included! Choose your pattern size based on your bust measurements. I recommend that you merge between sizes for a custom-fitted pattern.
If you are unsure about the size and fit of the dress, add a bigger seam allowance to the side seams (such as 2.5 cm (1”)) and baste them together (sewing with a long stitch length on your sewing machine) to try the dress on, before you sew them permanently.
Delivery
